The previous commit created new chains to hold the firewall rules. This commit changes the code that creates rules to place them in the new private chains instead of the builtin top level chains. With two networks running, the rules in the filter table now look like -N LIBVIRT_FWI -N LIBVIRT_FWO -N LIBVIRT_FWX -N LIBVIRT_INP -N LIBVIRT_OUT -A INPUT -j LIBVIRT_INP -A FORWARD -j LIBVIRT_FWX -A FORWARD -j LIBVIRT_FWI -A FORWARD -j LIBVIRT_FWO -A OUTPUT -j LIBVIRT_OUT -A LIBVIRT_FWI -d 192.168.0.0/24 -o virbr0 -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_FWI -o virbr0 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A LIBVIRT_FWI -d 192.168.1.0/24 -o virbr1 -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_FWI -o virbr1 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A LIBVIRT_FWO -s 192.168.0.0/24 -i virbr0 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_FWO -i virbr0 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A LIBVIRT_FWO -s 192.168.1.0/24 -i virbr1 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_FWO -i virbr1 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A LIBVIRT_FWX -i virbr0 -o virbr0 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_FWX -i virbr1 -o virbr1 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_INP -i virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_INP -i virbr0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_INP -i virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_INP -i virbr0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_INP -i virbr1 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_INP -i virbr1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_INP -i virbr1 -p udp -m udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_INP -i virbr1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_OUT -o virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 68 -j ACCEPT -A LIBVIRT_OUT -o virbr1 -p udp -m udp --dport 68 -j ACCEPT While in the nat table: -N LIBVIRT_PRT -A POSTROUTING -j LIBVIRT_PRT -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 224.0.0.0/24 -j RETURN -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 255.255.255.255/32 -j RETURN -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.0.0/24 ! -d 192.168.0.0/24 -p tcp -j MASQUERADE --to-ports 1024-65535 -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.0.0/24 ! -d 192.168.0.0/24 -p udp -j MASQUERADE --to-ports 1024-65535 -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.0.0/24 ! -d 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 224.0.0.0/24 -j RETURN -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 255.255.255.255/32 -j RETURN -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.1.0/24 ! -d 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -j MASQUERADE --to-ports 1024-65535 -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.1.0/24 ! -d 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -j MASQUERADE --to-ports 1024-65535 -A LIBVIRT_PRT -s 192.168.1.0/24 ! -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE And finally the mangle table: -N LIBVIRT_PRT -A POSTROUTING -j LIBVIRT_PRT -A LIBVIRT_PRT -o virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 68 -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill -A LIBVIRT_PRT -o virbr1 -p udp -m udp --dport 68 -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:

Contact
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
- libvirt-users@redhat.com (for user discussions)
